The images of National Guard troops sleeping on floors in Los Angeles are real, confirmed by the San Francisco Chronicle and other reports. The troops, deployed by President Trump on June 7, 2025, to address immigration protests, lack proper food, water, and lodging. Newsom calls this unlawful, citing inadequate support, and plans to sue. The Trump administration defends the deployment for public safety but hasn't addressed troop conditions. The situation is contentious, with legal challenges pending.
